Students in the research area Chemical Biology will study fundamental biological and biomedical problems to understand physiological processes at the molecular level. Students in the research area Energy & Sustainability will focus on the development of new sources of sustainable energy and the use of storage of energy or the development of new catalysts. The programme offers four specialisations (research, business studies, communication and education) and gives you a great deal of freedom in composing your tailored study programme.

The programme is open for students with an internationally recognized bachelor's degree in chemistry or a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry. If you are interested in fundamental chemistry and applied research and you are looking for a programme with ample of opportunities to assemble your own study path, our Chemistry programme is the right choice. You will be trained for a career in research within or outside academia. You can also choose a specialisation in which you combine one year of Chemistry research with one year of training in business, communication or education.

The programme consists of five components: 

(1) Research training

(2) Academic development

(3) Core courses: four courses of 6 EC each from a set of eight options in the chosen research area (Chemical Biology or Energy & Sustainability) provide our students with a broad basis. 

(4) Specialisation-specific components: dependent on the specialisation. A double specialisation is also possible, which takes an extra year to complete. 

(5) Electives



objectives

After completion of the MSc Chemistry programme students will have developed: 

• Knowledge and understanding of theoretical concepts of Chemistry from textbooks and primary literature pertaining to the research area “Chemical Biology” or “Energy & Sustainability” 

• The ability to plan chemical research, perform experiments within an appropriate time frame, collect and store data in a logical way, such that colleagues can easily find and access the data (data management) 

• The ability to make an independent analysis of scientific problems, analysis of relevant specialist literature, and formulate verifiable hypotheses 

• An appropriate critical scientific attitude, i.e. the ability to analyse results and critically evaluate their validity and accuracy 

• The skill to communicate chemical research progress and results to colleagues, supervisors and experts 

• The ability to write independently a structured and accurate report on performed chemical research 

• The ability to perform with an academic attitude and the skills for autonomous self-development, taking into account the ethical and social aspects of the natural sciences.
